A guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men’s lives ends up dead in his jail cell. How predictably…Russian.

Authorities couldn’t keep Epstein alive by putting him under 24 hour surveillance? How convenient for a lot of rich and powerful men.

“Authorities couldn’t keep Epstein alive by putting him under 24-hour surveillance? How convenient for a lot of rich and powerful men,” Scarborough tweeted.
In earlier tweets Scarborough, who has been criticized by some in the media for “conspiracy theories,” said he doesn’t believe Epstein killed himself.
He reportedly tried to kill himself two weeks ago. And is allowed to finish the job now? Bullshit.
